9/11 may have brought fence sitting fearers of Armaggedon into the fold. But as Armaggedon delays and that fear wanes, the WTS should experience a fall in the numbers in a year or two.

Also remember the new numbers manipulation in eased field service requirements in order to keep the ever growing elderly population of JWs in the regular ranks. And to keep the aux and reg pioneers pioneering.

Elders want letter from my daughter!

by reubenfine in

background: my unbaptized daughter married an unbaptized young man when they were both 18 years old.

it didn't work out and 2 years later they divorced.. now it's 6 years later, (after the divorce), and my daughter never got baptized.

her ex-husband did and is engaged to another dub.

>> Since my relationship with my ex husband I have led an entirely celibate lifestyle, not that it's any of your business. <<

Yep! That will mess up their plans real good!!! Perfect!!! LOLLLLLLLLL

Of course, your house might be watched for a while. If any male non relative is observed staying over for more than 15 minutes, the perverts will assume you've had sex with him.

Jesus Is God (John 1:1)

by JesusISJehovah in

according to john 1:1, jesus is god.

how do jehovah's witnesses rationalize that blatant statement of jesus' deity?

DakotaRed, it doesn't get any simplier!

I wonder if they are still a Jdubs

i was doing research on another topic and came acroos this article taken form the 1971 kingdom ministry.

i was wondering how many of these good dubs are still selling this crap.

like the fellowin paragraph 6 that started to study and writes, "i am now selling my home and plan to move .

As I was growing up I was rather a quiet one. I did good without fanfare. I rather missed out from being used in circuit assm programs, demonstrations, and talks. As I reflect back, it was probably a blessing.

Friends that where held up as examples in the circuit assm either faded out, had to be kicked out, or are barely hanging on. One sister that was used twice in a circuit assembly program for her stance in school and her pioneering is living in an intolerable marriage with her equally intolerable JW husband. Every brother I know who did a talk at the theocratic ministry at a circuit assembly years ago are depressed or has some kind of problem.

When I realized this, I stopped feeling passed-up anymore. Even felt a bit grateful. A few more years have passed, now I find the coincidence a bit scary.

Hanging low does have advantages.

Greg Stafford --- Update

good morning!

i found this post on channel c and thought i'd share it with those of you who are interested.

happy new year to all of you!

I feel deeply for Mr Stafford. I feel I'm walking in his path although he is miles ahead of me. As I study independently from, and objectively of, the WT, it is not a coincidence that fewer and fewer intellectuals remain in the JW camp. It is as if the more they know, the worse it becomes. They are either compelled to leave or forced to. With Mr Stafford's situation, I am convinced more than ever before that the JWs have no intelligentsia at all!!!

The brain drain among the JWs and in the WTS is not only real but practiced.

If there are any even pretending scholar status in the WTS, they have to be viewed with intense suspicion internally and they must be overruled by the whim of the GB and other political powers that be.

New JW sex abuse lawsuit

by Nathan Natas in

http://www.globe.com/dailyglobe2/001/metro/suit_charges_church_coverup+.shtml

suit charges church coverup.

jehovah's witness group is blamed in abuse of girl.

Roddy

>>Meanwhile, according to the lawsuit, the local Jehovah's Witnesses elders, including Broadard's father, decided only to ''reprove'' him. He kept his title and responsibilities within the church, the lawsuit charges.

And when the girl's mother told church leaders about the abuse, they told her she should not talk about it. The church elders told her they would handle the matter and urged her to ''pray more about the situation,'' the lawsuit charges.

The girl was committed to psychiatric institutions after she was diagnosed with severe post-traumatic stress disorder resulting from the abuse, Born said. ''This is almost like a fresh wound,'' he said. ''The effect of it, the trauma, has been dramatic.''<<

This makes me angry and gives me great sadness.

While they throw stones at other religions, why don't we see this printed in the WTS magazines?

Don't burn them. Keep them as hard proof of their old light/new light/back to old light changes. Or sell them on eBay or to WT collectors.
